Good morning TUMBLR - March 14th - 2024

''Mr. Plant has owed me a shoe since July 5, 1971."

Bir Rebaa – Algeria - September 1993 - Dec. 1995

Part 2

CAMANDONA ANTONIO

Antonio was a NUOVO PIGNONE Engineer. He was sent to the Bir Rebaa projectto supervise the installation of the two gas turbines. Originally from Florence, he had been married for years to a Brazilian woman and lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I remember his sagacity and his typical ''Tuscanaccio'' jokes. During the adjustment of the turbine anchor bolts, with the steel wires stretched all over the foundation, he had invented a joke that everyone then repeated: ''WATCH OUT FOR THE WIRE!'' He was shouting it with that typical Tuscan accent, it was kinda exhilarating! He described life in San Paolo as very complicated: the entrance and perimeter of his condo - like all those who could afford it - was manned by armed guards, to avoid thefts and illegal occupations. I remember that he was hit by a ''cuddler'' and we had to help him when - during the installation of the central body of the turbine weighing 94 tons - the ground under the tracks of the American crane collaplsed, two turbine sections dropped suddenly and almost on impact ' with the concrete foundation.

ENG. RUBINO. Small, thin, with thick nerd glasses, Iranian wife in tow: this was the AGIP Project Director. A true tyrant who revealed sadistic aspects as the project progressed and certain milestones were not met as per schedule. A day Rubino called Torello on the radio saying that ''He was at site in the tank area and that I can't see any greenery around here'' (he was referring to the fact that was nobody from our side, since we wore green shirts and trousers). It was 2.00 pm on a harsh July day, and the temperatures was 55* C - therefore it had been decided to start working earlier in the morning, and take a long break around midday (which Rubino had approved) Another day the Director ordered to backfill by sand the trenches of the electrical and instrumental cables, even though the cables were intertwined and not yet ''combed' (a jargon expression to say arranged with the right spaces between them) with the risk of interference from the signals. All this in an attempt to speed up the works. Later in the years, I would find Rubino at the head of the Kashagan project in Kazahstan, at least at the early days of the project. He was then dismissed from AGIP following the assignment of the contract worth 280 million USD to Petrofac for the supervision of the works of the Karabotan plant. Rumors were talking about possible bribes in the above contract award. In Bir Rebaa Rubino ordered to built a stable resembling a Tyrolean chalet for two horses he brought from Hassi Messaoud. Hay was transported daily to the site to feed the horse, by AGIP airplane! Rubino and his acolytes enjoyed shooting with bows and arrows, and when once Rubino dropped an arrow on the ground, Mr. Cascinotto (one of the most servile AGIP guy) rushed to pick it up, exclaiming:

Oh God…!

Rubino replied: ''Don't exaggerate Walter… just call me an Director…'' Rubino gave an order that in the same canteen where everyone ate, AGIP employees were served at the table, while we - mere mortals - collect food from self service.

WALTER CASCINOTTO Of Venetian origin, he was one of the AGIP Supervisors who - following their 28/28 shift - we used to see coming and going from Italy 3 times before it was our turn to return for holidays. After long reflections, we concluded that the reason because AGIP personnel shift was 28/28 was that they could not stay more than 28 days in the desert without doing absolutely nothing. A evening during dinner, in the mood for confidences, Walter told us that he had joined AGIP thanks to the recommendation of the then Patriarch of Venice, Cardinal Luciani. Just to say how things were (and still are) in Italy's Corporation Companies. A Friday Walter organized a on an expedition to visit a nearby abandoned Foreign Legion fort. He proudly showed us one of the first portable GPSs, which AGIP naturally already had supplied. We left in convoy, with 4 jeeps, following Walter who led the way. After several comings and goings and stops, in which our ''guide'' got out of the Toyota, repositioned the GPS and then indicated ''over there'' but then the fort was not found, we climbed on foot up a very high dune, and saw the location was just a few hundred meters away: we had gone around in circles for 2 hours thanks to the indications of the legendary Walter, the desert fox.

Former Foreigh Legion fort - Grand Erg Oriental - Algeria.

Pieraccini Renzo – Site Manager SAIPEM Renzo was one of those characters who contributed to make SAIPEM great. He was origanny from Predappio like our Fiorello, he hid an iron will behind a good-natured character. With typically Romagna cunning, he had gained the trust of the suspicious Project Director Mr. Diamante. This fact contributed first of all to facilitating SAIPEM's task, and then to making the Company earn considerable amount of extra works (and money). Pieraccini's personality and technical knowledge obscured Morello's role to such an extent that after a certain time Diamante turned to him directly, effectively bypassing SNAMPROGETTI, and making our presence on site almost useless.

QUADRATINI GIOVANNI Recently hired by SAIPEM, Giovanni was Pieraccini's Deputy - it was clear that the guy had an edge, and was destined for a brilliant career in the Company. He suffered enormously from Renzo's methods, and never missed an opportunity to complain about it publicly. Over the years he would first become SAIPEM manager for Nigeria and West Africa. Then even CEO of SAIPEM Construction Division. Having fallen into disgrace with the Algeria affair, he was ''degraded'' to head of North America and shortly thereafter resigned to move to a Norwegian company, a competitor of SAIPEM.

GENTILINI GIOVANNI Known with the nickname ''Ignoranza'', he was the typical representative of that generation who entered SAIPEM as an excavator or shovel operator, and then rose to the role of Construction Site Manager. Umbrian from Terni, he had the typical ''accent' of that region. Certain outings due to the lack of knowledge of French were unforgettable, perhaps on the radio, where we could all hear:

Monsieur Pieraccini les bagash sont dans la chambre! (which translate in Italian looks like ''the hook****rs are in the room, while he meant ''luggage are in your room) Or during a meeting with the Client:

Prim: SAIPE' travaill tres bie' (First SAIPEM works very good)

Second but not last: we take a yellow highlighter......……

His job was at stake when the ground gave way under the American crane while lifting the turbine, an accident that could have had catastrophic consequences. The ruthless Engineer Diamante asked Pieraccini to fire Gentilini on the spot - Pieraccini did it.

MUSELLI LUCIANO Welding supervisor, known as ''il Madonnaro'' (Madonna's draftman) nickname given to him by Franceschin due to the colored chalks that Luciano always carried in the numerous pockets of his jacket to write on the pipes. I will find Luciano again in Kazakhstan and then, once he retired, as manager of the Arte & Cocina restaurant in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol.

RACHID BENFLITI Project Director on behalf of SONATRAC (Local partner of AGIP) he alternated with Eng. Diamante, who in all respects managed the project. I developed a good relationship with M. Rachid, to the point that he told myself various background stories about his life. He was an Algerian who graduated in Moscow, at the famous Lumumba University for Foreigners. Disenchanted, he had long since stopped believing in the ''Algerian revolution'' - one day we climbed onto a dune overlooking the site, it was sunset and as if he was speaking to himself he said:

Why are we putting all this junk metal together here? Within 20 years everything will be rusty, wouldn't it be better to build a new Las Vegas here? That' kind of business is endless! Once he told me that one day - he had recently arrived in Moscow as a young student - he noticed that there were long queues outside shops, including those selling basic items - and then he asked himself a legitimate question :

If they don't have enough bread for themselves (the Russians) how can they think of helping us Algerians?

During a trip between Hassi Messaoud and Bir Rebaa I asked how he became Project Director. ''I had been in Algiers for two years now, I was working at the headquarters of SONATRAC (the Algerian national oil & gas company) and one day Monsieur Jilani – the General Director – called me to his office.

Yes Benfliti – he tells me – the time has finally come for you to reach Bir Rebaa construction site! You're happy?

Yes M. Jilani I'm happy.

But now – continued Jilani – a big problem arises: you go to the site, and who can replace you here at the headquarters? So who better than you can suggest the characteristics of your possible replacement?

Well M. Jilani' – I replied – my possible replacement here at the Headquarters must have two main characteristics.

And what are they? – Jilani said with an interested look.

This individual must like two things: reading newspapers and drinking tea (or coffee) Jilani' remained speechless - ''Could please explain why you telling that, Benfliti?

Easy to say Hamed – I replied – because in the two years I spent here at the Headquarters I did nothing but read newspapers and drink tea''.

HAMED ABBOUCH Site Manager of the Algerian Civil Works Subcontractor - He called himself ''Gilbert'', a name he had assumed during his long stay in France. A really smart guy, given the bad approach his subordinates were taking to the project, one day had a sign put up at the entrance to their offices – the sign said:

The use of the following words is strictly prohibited within these offices:

Entammer (to begin) peut etre (maybe) demain (tomorrow) Si Dieu veux (God willing) on verra (we'll see)

KAMEL TABTI Known as ''le Kalkul'' (''Calculations'' he was the topographer of the Algerian Civil Works Company. A truly talented person, both from a professional and human point of view. Counting on his wife's dual nationality, and exasperated by the civil war that devastated the country during those years, he managed to emigrate to France. He settled in Strasbourg, where he found employment as a security guard at the European Parliament.

ABDUL RAZZAK A kind young man in charge of the materials testing laboratory.

PALOMINO RAMIRO AGIP had made available a Pilatus, a 6-seater Swiss-made aircraft, for the transport of expatriate personnel from Hassi Messaoud to Bir Rebaa. A sandy landing strip, 800 meters long, had been prepared near the Bir Rebaa field, suitable for safe take-off/landing of the plane. The plane was also used for periodic reconnaissance of the area around the construction site, to monitor any movements of terrorist groups. Two pilots took turns at the controls of the small aircraft. One of these, Palomino, was of Colombian origin. One day he told us how he had made the decision to move to Spain, where he settled with his family. Ramiro lived in Medellin and worked as a pilot for a Colombian oil company. A evening while returning home, he was stopped in front of his house gate by two individuals who offered him a job as a pilot of one of the planes that local drug traffickers used to transport cocaine to the United States. One or two trips a week, $15,000 a trip. Palomino politely refused, and one of the individuals said:

Well, I'll see you back here tomorrow evening, think about it and then you'll give us ''correct'' answer… ah… before we leave.… does your daughter Alejandra always go to the Colejo Departamental Femenino De Belén Sofía? And they left without waiting for the answer. Then – Palomino told us – I entered my apartment and told my wife: -Sophia let's pack our bags, tonight we are all leaving for Spain, my relatives in Barcelona will help us.

But why so suddenly ?? Replied my wife.

Yes Sophia, there is no time to waste – and I explained to her what was behind my decision. Those kind of people - he continued - once I refused their offer - would not have hesitated one day, and my daughter would have been kidnapped and killed.

BIR REBAA LIFE The project had begun, the area affected by the works - with some difficulty - had been covered with a material that was locally called ''tuff''. It was a gray material, which was found in pockets about 7-10 meters deep under the sand. Once abundantly wet, it became very hard and resistant, allowing the movement of construction vehicles, which was impossible in the fine sand of the Sahara.

Kick Off Meeting After making various requests, finally one afternoon in January 1994 the Kick Off meeting was held at site offices - Kick off meeting marks the official start of project activities. It must be said that Site Manager Torello's French knowledge was very poor. He tried to understand what was being discuss during the meetings, and continually asked me for translation/clarification. At a certain point, Torello wanted to speak, and what he said - in front of local Algerians - was not remembered as a good thing. Torello: ''Oui…mais je entend que se fam comme sa…la production vas baiser…baiser…baiser… (accompanying the sentence with a gesture of the hand in which he wanted to make clear that by doing the way in which Sub Contractor intended would have caused ''production dropped…dropped…dropped - but in fact what Algerians understood was '' production would go to fuck itself'') Naturally all the Algerians present were stunned, and since they knew that I spoke French, 16 eyes simultaneously turned towards me with questioning looks, as if to say ''what did he say''? I had to explain – smiling sheepishly – that Mr. Morello was worried about the prospect of a drop in production if certain remedies and procedures were not adopted……

GENDARMERIE NATIONAL We had therefore obtained a small garrison of the Gendarmerie Nationale to guard the camp and the site. They guarded the camp 24/7, and a sort of sentry box had been positioned at the camp gate. It was half past one on a July afternoon, the temperature was around 50°C, we were taking a siesta in the rooms. Suddenly we heard a burst of machine gun fire, and many jumped out of the containers to see what was going on!. A soldier guarding the gate had fainted under the sun, falling with his hand on the trigger, so a series of shots were fired which pierced the water tank. (Luckely not the diesel tank.......). The guy was rescued and taken to the infirmary, where Doc took care of him.

Mr. D'ADIGE - SAIPEM President. It was a few days before August 1994, and one morning we saw the Pilatus going in circles over the site at low altitude: the SAIPEM President had come to visit. After an hour we were all in the meeting room, where Eng. D'Adda gave his speech:

Well…I saw from the plane that the beach is large…umbrellas…few (they were those of the welders) and then hot…very hot…all this should push you to complete the project as soon as possible, so as to be in time to move to the next Hassi R'Mel project! Happy Ferragosto everyone!!

And he left just as he came.

ROTATION TRIP TO ITALY - August 1993 The situation in Algeria in August 1993 was such that we expatriates - on return trips for holidays - flew first to Hassi Messaoud with the Pilatus, then to Algiers with a domestic flight, and stayed overnight at the Mercure hotel. The next day we boarded the Alitalia flight to Rome. That's what I did in that very hot August. Everything went well in the first part of the trip: quiet flight to Hassi Messaoud, a couple of hours of waiting and then an Air Algerie Boeing flew me and a colleague to the Houari Boumedienne in Algiers. The next morning, between checks in and security measures that turned out to be useless, we were finally on the airport bus that would take us under the plane from the terminal. And then pandemonium happened: we heard shots, bursts whose origin we didn't understand!! With quick wits - and also with our hearts beating at hundreds beats x minute - we threw ourselves on the floor of the bus, covering our heads with hand luggage! Outside, the battle raged, with security forces reacting, albeit belatedly. After an endless time - we were not in a position to say whether an hour or a few minutes had passed - we heard the anti guerrilla armored vehicle sirens, the so-called ''Ninja' special forces had entered in force in the parking lot in front of the airport terminal. They were firing wildly at a couple of vehicles which were later identified as the ones terrorists had used to enter the airport. The shots and the screeching of the cars lasted a few more minutes, while we remained there until the police entered the bus, shouting that everything was over! They made us return to the terminal, while on the apron the airport workers tried to clean up all the wreckage left by the fighting. After about 2 hours - during which not a single was pronunced by anybody - we were told to get back on the bus which this time left immediately towards the plane waiting near the take-off runway. We climbed the ladder quickly, without the usual recognition of luggage on the ground, before it was loaded into the hold of the plane. Which took off as soon as all the passengers were seated and their seat belts fastened. During the flight we drank half a bottle of Hennessy cognac each, and woke up when the plane touched the Rome's Fiumicino runway.

RETURN TO ALGERIA – September 1993 The holidays were over, and reluctantly I had to return to Algeria. At Huari Boumedienne airport a surprise awaited me: the domestic flight operated by Air Algerie was carried out with a brand new Boing 757 leased from Colonel Gaddafi's Libyan Arab Airlines. The plane's livery had been repainted, but the original colors of the Libyan Company could still be seen. After an hour's flight and a soft landing on the battered Hassi Messaoud runway, when it was time to get off the plane, the unexpected happened: the airport does not have an adequate ladder that reaches the level of the Boing's door! Standing under the merciless Sahara sun, we were already starting to sweat, when a 'genius guy' from ground services came up with the solution: three wooden pallets were provided at the top of the ladder platformin order allowed us to go down. Any case, with a small jump we all got down to the ground.

TORELLO AND PALEOLITHIC ARROWS.

The 21 days of vacation went by quickly – no one ever explained to me why vacation days pass so quickly, while when you're at work time seems to slow down. After the first 3 or 4 Fridays, almost all of us had lost interest in the search for Neolithic arrows. Only Torello continued to go searching for, while me and my colleagues preferred to rest in what was the only free afternoon of the week. That day no one of us wanted to accompany Torello who, violating the safety procedures that he himself had approved, set off alone in the Land Rover Discovery, a car suitable for '''out of school''''hopping in Western town'' but certainly not for off-roading in Western Sahara. The sun was about to set, and we were watching a tennis match between colleagues when Morello arrived: ON FOOT!

Land Rover Discovery 1990 Model.

Quickly, quickly…let's take a couple of Land Rovers…let's go …

Well… where is Discovery Giuseppe?

Later… I'll explain as I go along… Once we set off, Torello began to indicate the direction: to the right…straight…to the left…it's not far…

We traveled for about an hour, during which Torello explained that the Discovery had sunk into the sand - he had tried everything, but the car had sunk even mire. Luckily for him, a patrol from the Gendarmerie Nationale had passed by, giving him a ride to the camp. We finally arrived in a sort of depression (this was where the arrows and ostrich eggs were usually found) and we saw the Discovery: it was buried till windows level! It was clear that Torello - enraged at having been covered up - had done exactly what should never be done in these situations: accelerate the engine to the max, causing the car sunk in the soft sand. We then positioned the two Land Rovers in front of the Discovery,tide up the cables and attempted a maneuver that immediately proved to be impossible: the car didn't make the slightest movement.

It's late now, we have to get back before dark - We will come tomorrow with a D6 bulldozer, it will make a ramp, remove the sand in front and back side of the Discovery and then drag it out of the hole easily - I said. We returned to camp, with Torello not uttering a word the entire way. If one of us had done what he had done that day, Morello would have kicked him out of the project and perhaps even from the Company. - The next morning during breakfast he had already forgiven himself and was making idiotic jokes about what he was happened – the idea that it could have been much worse had never even crossed his mind.

Milano, “Secondo Tempo” sarà in scena al Teatro Repower per il progetto Italy Bares.

Milano, “Secondo Tempo” sarà in scena al Teatro Repower per il progetto Italy Bares.   Si rinnova l’appuntamento con Italy Bares, evento che dal 2019, grazie all’intuizione e alla Direzione Artistica di Giorgio Camandona, è sbarcato in Italia con un crescendo di interesse da parte del mondo delle istituzioni e degli artisti con un consenso che ha fatto registrare il tutto esaurito lo scorso anno al Teatro Repower di Milano con lo spettacolo Rewind. Il nuovo musical dal titolo Secondo Tempo andrà in scena l’11 maggio al Teatro Repower, anche per questa quarta edizione con Anlaids Lombardia ETS nel doppio ruolo di produttore e beneficiario, con la finalità di raccogliere fondi per combattere HIV, AIDS e sensibilizzare il pubblico per una cultura della prevenzione, contro ogni forma di stigmatizzazione. Nuovamente sotto la regia di Mauro Simone si riuniranno importanti coreografi e i migliori performer del panorama artistico italiano. Italy Bares è riuscito in soli quattro anni a raccogliere intorno a questo progetto una community di artisti, creativi e tecnici che lo supportano, tutti a titolo gratuito, nell’impegno e nella finalità di una cultura di sensibilizzazione contro ogni pregiudizio. A breve verranno svelati i nomi degli ospiti speciali che parteciperanno alla quarta edizione. Secondo tempo, con i testi di Elisabetta Tulli e Guglielmo Scilla, è un progetto realizzato grazie alla collaborazione tra Anlaids Lombardia, Compagnia della Rancia e con il supporto di Stage Entertainment. Il titolo del nuovo spettacolo prende spunto dal mondo sportivo, in particolare da quello del calcio, per parlare di inclusione e condivisione contro i tabù e i pregiudizi che non risparmiano nessuno e che ancora oggi, purtroppo, sopravvivono all’interno di questo ambiente. Italy Bares si ispira a Broadway Bares, progetto americano del regista e coreografo Jerry Mitchell, che nel 1992 dà vita a questo charity show in risposta alla crisi provocata da HIV e AIDS e diventato poi un appuntamento annuale per star e performance internazionali uniti in favore della stessa causa. Lo spettacolo Rewind, in scena lo scorso anno, ha permesso di raccogliere 124 mila euro a favore di Anlaids e ha visto la partecipazione di oltre 90 performer sul palco, 86 persone fra creativi, tecnici, organizzatori e la partecipazione straordinaria di due artisti come Filippo Timi e Malika Ayane. Di HIV, di AIDS, di infezioni sessualmente trasmissibili e di nuove infezioni è necessario continuare a parlare, per diffondere una cultura del benessere, in tanti luoghi e in tutti i modi possibili. Anche per questo parlarne a teatro, grazie a Italy Bares è così importante, per combattere insieme paura, stigma, pregiudizio e solitudine. Tutte le attività social che ruotano intorno al progetto Italy Bares sono coordinate da TheDigitalisti in collaborazione con MBRO Digital. Biglietti in vendita su Ticketone: SecondoTempo_Biglietti   Anlaids Lombardia ETS Anlaids è la prima associazione italiana impegnata nel fermare la diffusione del virus HIV, delle infezioni sessualmente trasmissibili e delle nuove infezioni virali. Una rete di professionisti e volontari che opera a livello nazionale e regionale, per essere presente in maniera capillare sul territorio. Dal 1989 fino a oggi Anlaids Lombardia parla a tutti di benessere e di cultura della prevenzione, diffondendo una corretta informazione, organizzando progetti di educazione, combattendo l’esclusione sociale, impegnandosi contro lo stigma legato alla sieropositività, stando al fianco delle persone fragili, lavorando a favore di studio e ricerca nei reparti di Malattie Infettive in cui opera e realizzando progetti di raccolta fondi come Convivio.

Come da tradizione, Transumando conquista i cuori dei biellesi. Nella mattinata di oggi, 29 maggio, ha avuto inizio il classico appuntamento del nostro territorio, con la salita della mandria di Walter e Lauro Croso ai pascoli dell’alta Valsessera.

Partiti dal vicino comune di Brusnengo, gli oltre 200 capi di bestiame hanno raggiunto prima Valle Mosso, poi le località di Camandona, Bocchetto Sessera, Piana del Ponte e l’alpeggio di Campelli di Sopra, dove resteranno per tutta l’estate.

In tanti, tra visitatori e curiosi, non si sono voluti perdere l’atteso passaggio della mandria: a colpire, come sempre, il lento procedere dei bovini, scandito dal suono dei campanacci.

Retirees eager to travel should check their Medicare coverage before hitting the road

Fabio Camandona | iStock | Getty Images

For Covid-vaccinated individuals in the 65-and-over crowd, hitting the road (or sky) may become more alluring than it’s been in nearly a year.

Be sure to consider whether your Medicare plan will travel with you. 

While coverage when you’re away from home depends partly on your destination, it also hinges on the specifics of your Medicare plan. Whether the care you receive is routine or due to an emergency also can play a part.

In other words, it’s worth knowing what to expect so there are no surprises. 

What to know

Basic, or original, Medicare consists of Part A (hospital coverage) and Part B (outpatient care). Individuals who choose to stick with that coverage — instead of going with an Advantage Plan — typically pair it with a stand-alone prescription-drug plan (Part D).

If this is your situation, coverage while traveling in the U.S. and its territories is fairly straightforward: You can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare (most do), whether for routine care or an emergency. It’s when you venture beyond U.S. borders that things get trickier.

“If you travel outside the U.S., Medicare doesn’t cover you except in very limited or rare circumstances,” said Danielle Roberts, co-founder of insurance firm Boomer Benefits.

If you travel outside the U.S., Medicare doesn’t cover you except in very limited or rare circumstances.

Those exceptions include when you’re on a ship within the territorial waters adjoining the country — within six hours of a U.S. port — or you’re traveling from state to state but the closest hospital to treat you is in a foreign country (i.e., you’re in Canada while heading to Alaska from the 48 contiguous states).

Be aware that amid the ongoing pandemic, the State Department has numerous advisories in effect for foreign travel. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requiring all air passengers — including citizens — heading for the U.S. (or returning to it) to show proof of a negative Covid test, or proof of recently recovering from the virus.

Nevertheless, if you are eyeing a different country for a vacation, pairing basic Medicare with a supplement policy — aka Medigap — may give you some coverage abroad.

Those policies, which are generally standardized across states but vary in cost, offer some coverage for the cost-sharing that goes with basic Medicare, such as copays and co-insurance. Some of them also have limited coverage for foreign travel, said Elizabeth Gavino, founder of Lewin & Gavino and an independent broker and general agent for Medicare plans.

“A member pays a $250 deductible and 20% of the cost of the medical treatment received, up to a lifetime maximum of $50,000,” Gavino said.

Be aware that this coverage applies to medically necessary emergency care and there may be other restrictions, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Advantage Plans

For beneficiaries who get their Medicare benefits — Parts A, B and typically D — through an Advantage Plan, it’s worth checking to see if you get any coverage for emergencies while abroad. And even if you don’t leave U.S. soil, you should see what your plan would cover.

While Advantage Plans are required to cover your emergency care anywhere in the U.S., you may be on the hook for routine care outside of their service area. 

“With a traditional HMO plan, when you travel outside the network, you have emergency coverage only,” Roberts said. “With a PPO, you have both coverage for emergencies and out-of-network coverage for non-emergencies [but] will pay more for these out of network services.”

There also are hybrid plans that may allow limited out-of-network treatment under certain circumstances, Roberts said.

It’s possible that your Advantage Plan will disenroll you if you remain outside of their service area for a certain length of time — typically six months. In that situation, you’d be switched to basic Medicare.

Some beneficiaries, regardless of their specific coverage, purchase travel medical insurance for trips overseas, Gavino said.
